EBC, as project coordinators, will present the European Brain Research Area (EBRA) project at the upcoming 8th European Psychiatric Association (EPA) Forum (taking place at the upcoming European Congress on Psychiatry 2022), centred around “Mental Health Care and Research in Europe: From Bench to Bedside and Back”. The Forum will take place on Saturday, 4 June 2022, 9:00-12:00 CEST at the congress venue in Budapest, Hungary. The project will be presented by EBC Executive Director, Frédéric Destrebecq.

The EPA Forum traditionally precedes the official opening of the annual European Congress on Psychiatry and aims to bring together EPA members and Congress delegates with European organisations, stakeholders and policy makers in the field of mental health and mental health care to present and discuss matters of European importance. This year’s programme will focus on the role of research and evidence-based policies to improve mental health care in the EU. In this regard, the EBRA project achievements, namely the recently released landscape analysis on brain research (mapping report) and upcoming Shared European Brain Research Agenda (SEBRA) will be presented.
